The hooded pitohui of Papua New Guinea is the only known poisonous bird in the world, carrying batrachotoxin in its feathers and skin—the same class of toxin found in poison dart frogs. This bird acquires its toxicity by consuming corosine beetles, which store the toxin as a defense mechanism. The bird's poisonous nature was discovered in 1992 when ornithologist Jack Dumbacher accidentally scratched himself while handling one, then instinctively licked his hand, causing his mouth to go numb for hours.
